Yes u have to investegate , to tell us the truth for what happen to shoot himself
RIP,yes u have to investigate y he shoot himself?
It happenz only mode of understud RIP
Che Jali, this is the most absurd comment I have ever heard from a human being. Nobody has any idea why this Malawian solder committed suicide and all you can say is ’atumbuka this atumbuka that’? Where are your morals ? Apa nde mwaonetsa uchitsiru ndi kupusa komansokuyipa mtima kwanu konse. Mwati amponye mmadzi ng’ona zidye? Iiii Kani Inu ndamene munali a pioneer a Kamuzu Banda aja munkakaponya anthu amoyo mu Shire River for crocodiles to feed on?
Mulibe manyazi mwaonekera poyera a chitsiru Inu Che Jali. Some people kill themselves ku nkhondo coz they have witnessed too many killings and sufferings that it affects them psychologically and mentally that they feel they themselves don’t deserve to live. Shame on you Che Jali. May you live a very short life.
Musiyeni Manda nkazi wake ndi abale ake amulire popanda ma rubbish ochokera nkamwa modya manyi ngati mwa Che Jali.
oyenda ndilupanga azafa ndilupanga, munapha sapota lero mwaya kuzipha nokha
Iwe chejali nadi ungati tawatumbuka ndisembuzi ha? Pamanyuma pako
Sad, MHSRP
dont say that atumbuka ndi mbuzi,coz we r all malawians! Zachitika basi b human plz!!
Chonde a Mlahkho tisatsankhane MTundu pa za zii. No connection here
Ths is so unproffessional, how can the Army, the Ministry of defence issue such a staTEMENT wihtout invetigating the cirumstances of the dead.
this will make people loose trust, especially families and wives, im not even gonna try to explain how technically difficult it is to shot oneself in the chest with a rilfe, let alone whilst sleeping.
Also 100 000 american troops were working in afghanstan plus 10 000 brotish troops and 6000 other allied troops, never did a soldier shot himself with a rifle
Next time , just announce the sudden loss then launch an enquiry, a full on, not the one which will publish results as 2 days
to a fool , would assume that if the deceased dies holding a rifle and has bullet wounds then he shot himself, but smart people done conclude or assume
Its family. His wife is cause mark my word
What motivated him to kill himself? Wise-up malawians!!
Atumbuka kwenikweni ndichiyani please atumbukatu mukuwonjeza ma brander ameneyo mponyeni mmadzi ng’ona zidye atumbuka ndi mbuzi za anthu izi
Atumbuka alibe pabwino, kumupepetula munthu kungomva kuti wapita kunja. Asilikali musamasazike popita kumeneko tizingoziwa mukamabwelako basi .
Shame! Koma What Is The Problem? Can We Say Dat He Had The Psychrogical Problem? Or Who To Blame His Officials Or Malawi As A Country? RIP!!!!!

Kodi siyemweyu akuti kalata yodziphera iwerengedwe pa tsiku la maliro ake. My take is that all the nonsense that he wrote cannot be made in public. Uyu, akayankha yekha kwa Mulungu.
RIP
Point of collection to the author; Malawi Defence Force soldiers they are not in Congo for peace-keeping, ask millitary officials they will tell you why they are there… The money they are received after the mission its too small coz they are indeed risking their lives……

Rumours are that he secured the place there so that his wife could be clobbered by his boss. Whilst there, the wife challenged him that indeed he was in love with his boss and she had been wasting wasting with him. The boss seemed to be more manly in bed

R.I.P soldier you were just young to leave
I thought it was reported that he left a suicide note? Isn’t a suicide note enough a clue as to the motive behind the suicide?
